You need the "defaultroute" option in your options file.

AHA! Here's the culprate. You already have a default route. pppd will
not replace it. This is a behavior of pppd, not KPPP. I have no idea why
the behavior is different under different versions of KPPP. Only thing I
can think of is the older version must have deleted the default route, and
then it was decided that this was not a Good Thing to do. Which it isn't.
However, in your case, before you start pppd, you should make sure you
don't have a default route. You can either delete it manually, or
reconfigure your ethernet card without a default gateway.
